USA Team Handball is the governing body for handball in the United States. USA Team Handball is funded in part by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee.[1] Previously, the governing body was the United States Team Handball Federation.[2]
USA Team Handball is led by an 9-person Board of Directors. The interim president is Patrick Jalabert.
USA Team Handball organizes the participation of U.S. national teams in international competitions, such as the Summer Olympics and the Pan American Games. The United States men's national handball team and the United States women's national handball team have struggled in international competitions against nations where handball is more popular.[3]
